Trust Indenture Legislation.

In this Indenture, the term “Trust Indenture Legislation” means the provisions, if any, of any statute of Canada or a province thereof, and of regulations under any such statute, relating to trust indentures and to the rights, duties, and obligations of trustees under trust indentures and of Persons issuing debt obligations under trust indentures, to the extent that such provisions are at the time in force and applicable to this Indenture.

If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies, or conflicts with a mandatory requirement of Trust Indenture Legislation, such mandatory requirement shall prevail. The Issuer, the Trustee, and each Holder shall at all times, in relation to this Indenture and any action to be taken hereunder, observe and comply with and be entitled to the benefits of Trust Indenture Legislation, as applicable.

Conversion of Currency

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due under this Indenture to the Holder from another currency to Canadian dollars, the Issuer and each Guarantor agree, and each Holder by holding a Note will be deemed to have agreed, to the fullest extent that the Issuer, each Guarantor and they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures such Holder could purchase Canadian dollars with such other currency in Toronto, Ontario on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

The Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations to any Holder will, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than Canadian dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, of any amount in such judgment currency, such Holder may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Canadian dollars with the judgment currency. If the amount of the Canadian dollars so purchased is less than the amount originally to be paid to such Holder or the Trustee in the judgment currency (as determined in the manner set forth in Section 1.14(a)), as the case may be, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Holder and the Trustee, as the case may be, against any such loss. If the amount of the Canadian dollars so purchased is more than the amount originally to be paid to such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, will pay the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor such excess; provided that such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not have any obligation to pay any such excess as long as a Default under the Notes or this Indenture has occurred and is continuing or if the Issuer or the Guarantors shall have failed to pay any Holder any amounts then due and payable under such Note or this Indenture, in which case such excess may be applied by such Holder or the Trustee to such obligations.

Accounting Terms; Changes in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

If there occurs a material change in GAAP after the Issue Date, and such change would require disclosure under GAAP in the financial statements of the Issuer and would cause an amount required to be determined for the purposes of any of the financial calculations or financial terms under this Indenture (each a “Financial Term”) to be materially different than the amount that would be determined without giving effect to such change, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee of such change (an “Accounting Change”). Such notice (an “Accounting Change Notice”) shall describe the nature of the Accounting Change, its

If the Issuer so indicates that it wishes to revise the method of calculating the Financial Term, the Issuer shall in good faith provide to the Trustee the revised method of calculating the Financial Term within 90 days of the Accounting Change Notice and such revised method shall take effect from the date of the Accounting Change Notice. For certainty, if no notice of a desire to revise the method of calculating the Financial Term in respect of an Accounting Change is given by the Issuer within the applicable time period described above, the method of calculating the Financial Term shall not be revised in response to such Accounting Change and all amounts to be determined pursuant to the Financial Term shall be determined after giving effect to such Accounting Change.

Additional Amounts

All payments made to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note by or on behalf of the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes or by or on behalf of any Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee, will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Relevant Taxing Authority, unless required by law or the interpretation or administration thereof. If the Issuer or a Guarantor is obligated to withhold or deduct any amount on account of taxes imposed by any Relevant Taxing Authority from any payment made to a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note with respect to the Notes, the Issuer or such Guarantor will:

Notwithstanding Section 2.5(a), neither the Issuer nor a Guarantor will pay Additional Amounts with respect to a payment made to any Holder or beneficial owner of a Note (an “Excluded Holder”):

Any reference in this Indenture to the payment of principal, Premium, if any, interest, purchase price, redemption price or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, will be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. The Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligation to make payments of Additional Amounts will survive any termination of this Indenture or the defeasance of any rights thereunder.

The Issuer and each Guarantor will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder or beneficial owner of a Note (other than an Excluded Holder) and upon written request reimburse each such Holder or beneficial owner of a Note for the amount of (i) any taxes so levied or imposed by a Relevant Taxing Authority and paid by such Holder or beneficial owner of a Note as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes, and (ii) any taxes levied or imposed by a Relevant Taxing Authority and paid by such Holder or beneficial owner of a Note with respect to any reimbursement under (i) above, but excluding any such taxes with respect to which such Holder or beneficial owner of a Note is an Excluded Holder or any income or profits taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Authority.

Form of Notes

The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set out in Appendix A hereto, together with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture. Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Notes may be typed, engraved, printed, lithographed or reproduced in a different form, or partly in one form and partly in another, as the Issuer may determine. The execution of any such Notes by the Issuer and the authentication by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.7 of any such Notes will be conclusive evidence that such Notes are Notes authorized by this Indenture.

Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes

All Notes shall be signed (either manually or by electronic or facsimile signature) by any two authorized directors or officers of the Issuer, holding office at the time of signing. An electronic or facsimile signature upon a Note shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed to be the signature of the individual whose signature it purports to be. Notwithstanding that any individual whose signature, either manual or in facsimile or other electronic means, appears on a Note as a director or officer may no longer hold such office at the date of the Note or at the date of the authentication and delivery thereof, such Note shall be valid and binding upon the Issuer and the Holder thereof shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

No Notes will be entitled to any right or benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless such Notes have been authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee substantially in the form provided for herein. Such authentication upon any Notes will be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Notes have been duly authenticated, issued and delivered and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits hereof.

Subject to the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall from time to time authenticate one or more Notes (including Global Notes) for original issue on the issue date for such Notes or otherwise to permit transfers in accordance with Section 3.6 upon and in accordance with an Issuer Order (an “Authentication Order”), without the Trustee receiving any consideration therefor. Each such Authentication Order shall specify the principal amount of such Notes to be authenticated and the date on which such Notes are to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount specified in the Authentication Orders provided in respect of original issues of Notes except as provided in Section 2.14. Except as provided in Section 5.10, there is no limit on the amount of Notes that may be issued hereunder.

The certificate by or on behalf of the Trustee authenticating Notes will not be construed as a representation or warranty of the Trustee as to the validity of this Indenture or of any Notes or their issuance (except the due authentication thereof by the Trustee) or as to the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under this Indenture or any Notes and the Trustee will be in no respect liable or answerable for the use made of the proceeds of such Notes. The certificate by or on behalf of the Trustee authenticating Notes issued under this Indenture will constitute a representation and warranty by the Trustee that such Notes have been duly authenticated by and on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.

Appointment of Trustee and Depositary

The Trustee will be the trustee for the Notes, subject to Article 10.

The Issuer initially appoints CDS to act as Depository with respect to the Notes.

Registrar and Paying Agent

The Issuer shall maintain for the Notes an office or agency where such Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where such Notes may be surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of such Notes and of their transfer and exchange.

The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents for the Notes in such other locations as it shall determine. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Registrar or Paying Agent which is not a party to this Indenture. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar for the Notes.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee at its corporate office in Calgary, Alberta to act as the Registrar, transfer agent, authentication agent and Paying Agent with respect to the Notes and appoints Computershare Trust Company N.A., in Golden, Colorado as a co-transfer agent.

the rights of the Beneficial Holders of such Notes shall be exercised only through such Depository and the rights of Beneficial Holders shall be limited to those established by applicable law and agreements between the Depository and the Participants and between such Participants and Beneficial Holders, and must be exercised through a Participant in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository;

Concerning Interest

All Notes issued hereunder, whether originally or upon exchange or in substitution for previously issued Notes (including for certainty Notes issued under Sections 2.13 and 2.14), shall accrue and bear interest (i) from and including their respective issue date, or (ii) from and including the last Interest Payment Date therefor to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment on such outstanding Notes, whichever shall be the later, in all cases, to and excluding the next Interest Payment Date therefor.

Subject to accrual of any interest on unpaid interest from time to time, interest on a Note will cease to accrue from the Maturity of such Note (including, for certainty, if such Note was called for redemption, the Redemption Date); unless upon due presentation and surrender of such Note for payment on or after the Maturity thereof, such payment is improperly withheld or refused.

If the date for payment of any amount of principal, Premium or interest in respect of a Note is not a Business Day at the place of payment, then payment thereof will be made on the next Business Day and the Holder of such Note will not be entitled to any further interest on such principal, or to any interest on such interest, Premium or other amount so payable, in respect of the period from the date for payment to such next Business Day.

The Holder of any Note at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Note subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Holder of such Note as at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than two Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of all affected Notes not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date.

Wherever in this Indenture or any Note there is mention, in any context, of the payment of interest, such mention is deemed to include the payment of interest on amounts in default to the extent that, in such context, such interest is, was or would be payable pursuant to this Indenture or the Note, and express mention of interest on amounts in default in any of the provisions of this Indenture will not be construed as excluding such interest in those provisions of this Indenture where such express mention is not made.

Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture or the terms of any Note, interest on the Notes shall be payable in equal semi-annual amounts; provided that for any Interest Period that is shorter than a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant period and will accrue from day to day. For purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever interest is calculated under a Note on the basis of a year which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as an annual rate by multiplying such rate of interest by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in such calendar year, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the deemed year.

Payments of Amounts Due on Maturity

Subject to Section 2.16(b), the following provisions shall apply to all Notes:

in the case of fully registered Notes, the Issuer shall establish and maintain with the Paying Agent a Maturity Account for the Notes. On or before 11:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on the Business Day before the Stated Maturity date for the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit in the applicable Maturity Account by wire transfer or certified cheque an amount sufficient to pay all amounts payable in respect of the outstanding Notes (less any taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld therefrom). The Paying Agent will pay to each Holder of such Notes entitled to receive payment, the

in the case of any Notes issued and outstanding in the form of or represented by Global Notes, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on the Business Day before the Stated Maturity date for such Notes, the Issuer shall deliver to the Depository by electronic funds transfer an amount sufficient to pay the amount payable in respect of such Global Notes (less any Taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld therefrom). The Issuer shall pay to the Depository the principal amount of, and Premium (if any) on, such Global Notes, against receipt of the relevant Global Notes. The delivery of such electronic funds to the Depository will satisfy and discharge the liability of the Issuer for the Notes to which the electronic funds relates to the extent of the amount deposited or made available (plus the amount of any Taxes deducted or withheld as aforesaid) and such Notes will thereafter not be considered as outstanding under this Indenture unless such electronic funds transfer is not received. Failure to make delivery of funds available as required pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) will constitute Default in payment on the Notes in respect of which the delivery or making available of funds was required to have been made.

Notwithstanding Section 2.16(a), all payments in excess of $25 million (or such other amount as determined from time to time by the Canadian Payments Association or any successor thereto) shall be made by the use of the LVTS. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any obligation to disburse funds pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(i) unless it has received written confirmation satisfactory to it that the funds have been deposited with it in sufficient amount to pay in full all amounts due and payable on the applicable date of Maturity.

Places of Payment

Partial Redemption

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption as follows:

if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which such Notes are listed; or

if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, or based on a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by applicable law or depository requirements,

If Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the Redemption Notice that relates to such Notes will state the portion of the principal amount of such Notes that is to be redeemed. In the event that one or more of such Notes becomes subject to redemption in part only, upon surrender of any such Notes for payment of the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver without charge to the Holder thereof or upon the Holder’s order one or more new Notes for the unredeemed part of the principal amount of the Notes so surrendered or, with respect to Global Notes, the Trustee shall make notations on the Global Notes of the principal amount thereof so redeemed.

Purchase of Notes for Cancellation

The Issuer may, at any time and from time to time, purchase or otherwise acquire Notes, whether pursuant to a tender offer, open market purchase, negotiated transactions or otherwise, at any price, in accordance with Applicable Securities Legislation; provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture. All Notes so purchased may, at the option of the Issuer, be delivered to the Trustee and cancelled and no Notes shall be issued in substitution therefor.

If, upon an invitation for tenders, more Notes are tendered at the same lowest price than the Issuer is prepared to accept, the Notes to be purchased by the Issuer shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis or in such other manner as the Issuer directs in writing and as consented to by the exchange, if any, on which Notes are then listed which the

Principal, Premium and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Trustee holds, as of 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on the Business Day prior to the relevant payment date (or otherwise as specified in this Indenture in respect of such payment) Canadian dollars in immediately available funds sufficient to pay all principal, Premium and interest then due and the Trustee is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and Premium, if any, at the rate of interest applicable to the Notes, and it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue instalments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer.

Provision of Reports and Financial Information

The Issuer will provide the Trustee, and the Trustee will deliver to all the Holders, the following information (collectively, the “Financial Reports”):

(A) within 90 days of the end of each fiscal year, annual audited financial statements for such fiscal year (along with customary comparative results) and (B) within 45 days of the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, unaudited financial statements for the interim period as at, and for the period ending on, the end of such fiscal quarter (along with comparative results for the corresponding interim period in the prior year), in each case, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” with respect to the periods presented and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Issuer’s certified independent accountants; and

within 10 days after the occurrence of each event constituting a “material change” (as defined in the Securities Act (Alberta)) that would have been required to be reported (pursuant to applicable rules and regulations in effect on the Issue Date) in a report under the Securities Act (Alberta) if the Issuer had been a “reporting issuer” under the Securities Act (Alberta), a report containing substantially all of the information that would have been required to be contained (pursuant to the Securities Act (Alberta) and applicable rules and regulations thereunder) in such report,

If the Issuer has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries hold more than 2.5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 5.3(a) will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, or in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries excluding such Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

If and for so long as any Notes remain outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act and not eligible to be resold pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) of the U.S. Securities Act, the Issuer will furnish to the Holders and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the U.S. Securities Act (for so long as such information is required in order to permit resales of the Notes pursuant to Rule 144A).

Unless the Financial Reports are available on SEDAR or any successor system thereto, the Issuer will also maintain a website to which the Beneficial Holders are given free access and on which, not later than the date by which the Financial Reports are required to be provided to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3(a), such Financial Reports are made available. Making such Financial Reports so available shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of 5.3(a) that such Financial Reports be provided to the Trustee and delivered to the Holders.

Unless the Issuer is a “reporting issuer” (or its equivalent) required to file information with one or more securities regulators in Canada, no later than five Business Days after the date the annual and quarterly Financial Reports have been furnished pursuant to Section 5.3(a)(i), the Issuer shall also hold a live quarterly conference call with the opportunity for participants to ask questions of management. No fewer than three Business Days prior to the date such conference call is to be held, the Issuer shall issue a press release (which release shall be immediately filed on SEDAR or any successor system thereto or, if the applicable Canadian securities regulators do not permit such filing, immediately provided to the Trustee and the Holders) announcing such quarterly conference call, which press release shall contain the time and the date of such conference call and direct the recipients thereof to contact an individual at the Issuer (for whom contact information shall be provided in such notice) to obtain information on how to access such quarterly conference call.

The Trustee will have no responsibility to determine whether the filing or posting of such financial statements and reports has occurred; delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants under the indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely on Officer’s Certificates).

Compliance Certificate.

The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether each has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that, to his or her knowledge, each entity has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the

The Issuer shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

in the case of the disposition or repayment of or return on any Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment made by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (other than the release of any guarantee), an amount (to the extent not included in the computation of Consolidated Net Income) equal to the lesser of (1) 100% of the aggregate amount received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in cash or other property (valued at the Fair Market Value thereof) as the return of capital with respect to such Investment and (2) the amount of such Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment, in either case, less the cost of the disposition of such Investment and net of taxes, plus

in the case of the release of any guarantee that was treated as a Restricted Payment made by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date, an amount equal to the amount of such guarantee that was treated as a Restricted Payment less any amount paid under such guarantee, plus

indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn-out or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Equity Interests for the purpose of financing or in contemplation of any such acquisition;

Indebtedness in respect of Specified Cash Management Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

Indebtedness of Persons incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Person was acquired by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or amalgamated, merged or consolidated with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition, amalgamation, merger or consolidation); provided, however, that at the time such Person or assets is/are acquired by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, or amalgamated, merged or consolidated with the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (xiv) and any other related Indebtedness, either (A) the Issuer would have been able to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to section 5.10(a) or (B) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than or equal to such Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such acquisition, amalgamation, merger or consolidation;

Indebtedness representing deferred compensation to directors, officers, members of management or employees (in their capacities as such) of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and incurred in the ordinary course of business;

daylight loans incurred for bona fide tax planning purposes;

unsecured obligations owing under letters of credit, letters of guarantee, performance guarantees and similar instruments issued by one or more financial institutions which are guaranteed by Export Development Canada pursuant to its “Performance Security Guarantee” program (or any replacement program thereto) in any aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150 million; and

additional Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xviii) and then outstanding and all Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof incurred pursuant to clause (xi), will not exceed the greater of (A) $400 million and (B) 6% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Tangible Assets (determined at the time of incurrence and after giving pro forma effect to the use of proceeds therefrom).

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5.10:

in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(xviii) of Section 5.10(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 5.10(a), the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness and may divide and classify such Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described therein (except that Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement on or prior to the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred under clause (b)(i) of Section 5.10(b)), and may later reclassify any item of Indebtedness described in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(xviii) of Section 5.10(b) (provided that at the time of reclassification it meets the criteria in such category or categories);

guarantees, Liens or letter of credit obligations supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included so long as incurred by a Person that could have incurred such Indebtedness;

the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and

Indebtedness of any Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (or amalgamates, merges or consolidates with or into the Issuer or of its Restricted Subsidiaries) shall be deemed to have been incurred by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiary at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (or amalgamates, merges or consolidates with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under this Section 5.10, the Issuer shall be in Default of this covenant; provided that any Indebtedness of such Person that is redeemed, defeased, retired or otherwise repaid at the time of or immediately upon consummation of the transaction by which such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (or amalgamates, merges or consolidates with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) will be deemed to not be Indebtedness for the purposes of this Section 5.10.

For the purposes of determining compliance with any Canadian dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the Canadian dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the earlier of the date that such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lowest Canadian dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Canadian dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Canadian dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Limitation on Asset Sales

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Sale; and

at least 75% of the total consideration from such Asset Sale received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, together with the consideration received in all other Asset Sales by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (on a cumulative basis), is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; for the purposes of this Section 5.11(a)(ii) only, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

the amount (without duplication) of any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed or forgiven by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary against further liability;

the amount of any securities, notes or other obligations received from such transferee that are within 180 days after such Asset Sale converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received);

the Fair Market Value of (1) any assets (other than securities) received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be used by it in a Permitted Business, (2) Equity Interests in a Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a Person engaged in a Permitted Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the acquisition of such Person by the Issuer or (3) a combination of (1) and (2); and

any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (D) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 5.0% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 5.11.

Notwithstanding Section 5.11(a), the 75% limitation referred to in Section 5.11(a)(ii) shall be deemed satisfied with respect to any Asset Sale in which the cash or Cash Equivalents portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with this Section 5.11 on an after-tax basis, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation.

If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries engages in an Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may, no later than 365 days following the consummation thereof, apply all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom to:

repay, redeem or otherwise retire (A) obligations under the Credit Agreement, (B) Indebtedness (other than Disqualified Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness) of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, and/or (C) Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that is secured by a Lien (in each case other than any Disqualified Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness, and other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) and, if the obligations repaid are in respect of revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto;

repay, redeem or otherwise retire obligations under other Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (in each case other than any Disqualified Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness, and other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer); provided that the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 4.2, through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.11(f) for a Net Proceeds Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid; or

(A) make any capital expenditure or otherwise invest all or any part of the Net Available Proceeds thereof in the purchase of assets (other than securities and excluding working capital or current assets for the avoidance of doubt) to be used by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in a Permitted Business, (B) acquire Qualified Equity Interests held by a Person other than the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in a Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a Person engaged in a Permitted Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the consummation of such acquisition or (C) a combination of (A) and (B).

Pending the final application of any Net Available Proceeds pursuant to this Section 5.11, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary holding such Net Available Proceeds may apply such Net Available Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving Credit Facility or otherwise invest such Net Available Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

On the 366th day after an Asset Sale (or, at the Issuer’s option, an earlier date or any later date contemplated by Section 5.11(d)), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $100 million, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to purchase or redeem (a “Net Proceeds Offer”) from all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of other Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer, to all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase or redeem such Pari Passu Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sale, to purchase or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes, and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness to which the Net Proceeds Offer applies that may be purchased or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, in each case in minimum denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Within five Business Days after the Issuer is obligated to make a Net Proceeds Offer as described in Section 5.11(f)(i), the Issuer will send a written notice, by first-class mail, to the Holders, accompanied by such information regarding the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as the Issuer in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision with respect to such Net Proceeds Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed.

The Net Proceeds Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Net Proceeds Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Net Proceeds Offer Period (the “Net Proceeds Purchase Date”), the Issuer will purchase the principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness required to be purchased pursuant to this covenant (the “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount has been so validly tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered in response to the Net Proceeds Offer.

If the Net Proceeds Purchase Date is on or after a record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer.

On or before the Net Proceeds Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness or portions of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the

To the extent that the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds, or a portion thereof, for any purposes not otherwise prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall select the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness. Upon completion of such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the amount of Excess Proceeds with respect to which such Net Proceeds Offer was made shall be deemed to be zero.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be governed by the provisions described under Section 5.14 and/or Article 9 and not by the provisions of this Asset Sale covenant.

Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.11:

any Holder may decline any offer of prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.11; and

the failure of any such Holder to accept or decline any such offer of prepayment shall be deemed to be an election by such Holder to decline such prepayment.

The Issuer will comply with all Applicable Securities Legislation, and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any Applicable Securities Legislation or applicable laws and regulations conflict with this Section 5.11, the Issuer shall comply with the Applicable Securities Legislation and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 5.11 by virtue of such compliance.

Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $25 million, unless:

the terms of such Affiliate Transaction, taken as a whole, are not materially less favourable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that would reasonably be expected to have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate;

with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value in excess of $75 million, an Officer of the Issuer has determined that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i); and

with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value in excess of $100 million, a resolution has been adopted by a majority of the Independent Directors approving such Affiliate Transaction.

The restrictions in Section 5.12(a) shall not apply to:

transactions exclusively between or among (A) the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (B) Restricted Subsidiaries;

director, trustee, officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including pursuant to any employment agreement or any retirement, health, stock option or other benefit plan), payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees of the Issuer and indemnification arrangements, in each case, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Issuer’s Board of Directors or senior management;

any Permitted Investments;

any Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with Section 5.8;

any agreement in effect on the Issue Date or as thereafter amended or replaced in any manner that, taken as a whole, is not, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, materially more disadvantageous to the Holders or the Issuer than such agreement as it was in effect on the Issue Date;

any transaction with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) which would constitute an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Person;

(A) any transaction with an Affiliate where the only consideration paid by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is Qualified Equity Interests or the proceeds therefrom or (B) the issuance or sale of any Qualified Equity Interests and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith;

Guarantees by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the performance obligations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business (excluding guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money);

transactions in which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from a Canadian or U.S. nationally recognized accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of 5.12(a)(i); and

any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Financing.

Limitation on Liens

in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that ranks pari passu with the Notes or a Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, at least equally and ratably with or prior to such Obligation with a Lien on the same collateral; and

in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same collateral that is senior to the Lien securing such subordinated obligation,

Offer to Purchase Notes upon Change of Control

Subject to Section 5.14(h), upon the occurrence of any Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes as described under Section 4.2, each Holder will have the right to require that the Issuer purchase all or any portion (in minimum denominations equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described in Section 5.14(b) (the “Change of Control Offer”) for a cash price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment Date”).

No later than 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice:

describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event;

offering to purchase, pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in such notice, which shall be a Business Day not earlier than 30 days nor, unless such Change of Control Offer is being made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event as contemplated by Section 5.14(h), later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered, and for the Change of Control Purchase Price, all Notes properly tendered by such Holder pursuant to such Change of Control Offer; and

describing the procedures, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Indenture, that Holders must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer, to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment and to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

On the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in minimum denominations equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Purchase Price for such Notes, with such payment to be made through the facilities of the Depository for all Global Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes so tendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a in minimum denomination in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid on the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date.

A Change of Control Offer will be required to remain open for at least 20 Business Days or for such longer period as is required by law. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event and a Holder will not have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase any Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer if (i) a third party makes an offer to purchase the Notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in substantial compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 5.14 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, or (ii) a Redemption Notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.2 unless and until there is a Default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.14, a Change of Control Offer by the Issuer or a third party may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

The Issuer will comply with Applicable Securities Legislation and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of Applicable Securities Legislation or other applicable laws and regulations conflict with the requirements of this Section 5.14, the Issuer shall comply with the Applicable Securities Legislation and such other applicable laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 5.14 by virtue of such compliance.

The provisions in this Indenture relating to the Issuer’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived, modified or terminated with the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Corporate Existence

Business Activities

Additional Guarantees

If any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor incurs or guarantees any Triggering Indebtedness, then the Issuer shall:

cause such Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee within 30 Business Days a supplemental indenture in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary; and

deliver to the Trustee one or more Opinions of Counsel (which may contain customary exceptions) reasonably acceptable to the Trustee that such Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary.

The Issuer may also elect to cause any other Restricted Subsidiary to issue a Guarantee and become a Guarantor.

Designation of Subsidiaries as Restricted or Unrestricted

The Board of Directors of the Issuer may, subject to Section 5.20(b), designate any Subsidiary (including any newly formed or newly acquired Subsidiary or a Person becoming a Subsidiary through amalgamation, merger or consolidation or Investment therein) of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture (a “Designation”); provided that:

no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation (unless such Default would be wholly cured by such Designation);

the Issuer would be permitted to make, at the time of such Designation, (A) a Permitted Investment or (B) an Investment pursuant to Section 5.8, in either case, in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Issuer’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary on such date;

on the date such Subsidiary is Designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries unless the terms of the agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding, taken as a whole, are not materially less favourable to the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiary than those that would reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Issuer; and

such Subsidiary has not guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly provided credit support for any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries unless such guarantee is released concurrent with such Designation.

For purposes of any Designation, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Investments in an amount determined as set forth in the definition of “Investment.” Such Designation will be permitted only if an Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

The Board of Directors of the Issuer may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (a “Redesignation”) only if:

no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Redesignation;

all Liens upon property of such Unrestricted Subsidiary existing at the time of such Redesignation would be permitted Section 5.13;

the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by such Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and any such designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time in compliance with Section 5.8;

such Redesignation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such Redesignation will only be permitted if such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 5.10, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and

if required pursuant to Section 5.17, such Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor pursuant to such Section within 10 Business Days of the date on which it is so designated.

Further Instruments and Acts

Covenant Termination

Following the first date that (a) the Notes have a rating equal to or higher than “BBB-” (or the equivalent) by S&P, “Baa3” (or equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or “BBB (low) (or equivalent)” by DBRS (or, if any such agency ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Issuer, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “designated rating organization” within the meaning of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations that is selected by the Issuer, which shall be substituted for any or all of S&P, ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or DBRS, as the case may be) and (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the following provisions:

Section 5.8;
